Michael Bailey Associates, as a European IT recruitment company interact with a large variety of companies and people, including Clients, Suppliers, and our employees.  It is crucial, therefore, that we behave in a socially responsible manner, understand social and environmental concerns and operate in a way which adds value.

  • Employees 
  • Equal Opportunities
  • Health and Safety
  • Environmental
  • Waste

Employees

At Michael Bailey Associates we acknowledge that the foundation to our success is our employees. We have a high retention rate within our industry, due to our holistic approach to managing our staff.    

 

Members of staff have a structured training and development programmed and personal development plan based on their individual requirements and aspirations.

 

Equal Opportunities

Michael Bailey Associates is committed to equal opportunities in both our employment practices and our services to clients. We believe that equal opportunities practice promotes an efficient organisation and effective service delivery.

 

MBA aims to ensure that no potential or actual employee receives more or less favourable treatment on the grounds of race, colour, ethnic or national origins, marital status, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability or religious beliefs.

 

MBA is committed to respecting and valuing cultural diversity.  The responsibility for implementing this policy rests with each employee of the Company and also the Directors of the Company.

 

We recognise that there are groups of people in society who have suffered and continue to suffer unjustified discrimination and disadvantage. The forms of discrimination include but are not restricted to discrimination by:

  • Gender
  • Ethnicity
  • Disability
  • Sexual Orientation
  • Marital Status
  • Age
  • Religion

We regard these forms of discrimination as irrational and inhuman and our HR department does take immediate action if discrimination is reported.

 

We are committed to taking all reasonable steps, within the limits imposed by the size and resources of MBA, to achieve the following objectives:

  • The removal of any Company practices in the recruitment, retention, development and promotion of employees which may discriminate unfairly;
  • The establishment over time of a reasonable and representative balance at all levels within the total employee complement with respect to gender, ethnicity and disability.

To achieve these objectives we will among other things:

  • Review our practice regularly and undertake action when necessary;
  • Be willing to recruit using the criterion of potential when appropriate;
  • Be willing to apply affirmative action procedures when appropriate;
  • Adopt an incremental approach to achieving our objectives;
  • Require employees to observe the policy and encourage them to implement it proactively in their day-to-day work.

Health and Safety

Michael Bailey Associates operate an Occupational Health and Safety System ensuring that we identify and manage risk and consult with our employees on any issues which may affect their health and safety.

 

We are committed to looking after the health and safety of all employees, workers, customers and visitors. It is our policy to provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions, equipment and systems of work for everyone and to provide such information, training and supervision as they need for this purpose. Everyone has a duty of care to each other and is responsible for maintaining a safe working environment.

 

Environmental

Michael Bailey Associates primary objective being to ensure provision of services that consistently meet (if not exceed) customer requirements and expectations. Secondary objectives are to reduce the risk of pollution arising through our processes and commit to recycling material and using recycled materials wherever possible. To assist in achieving this objective we utilise a quality management system consistent with the requirements of ISO 9001:2000 which is continually monitored and reviewed for its applicability and effectiveness through a programme of internal auditing, management review and the analysis of performance against a set of predefined objectives.

 

Waste

Michael Bailey Associates reduce the creation of waste by the adoption of waste-saving initiatives such as accepting CVs largely in electronic format, and producing electronic invoices wherever possible. When we do produce waste we ensure:

  • Recycling is encouraged through onsite paper recycling facilities.
  • Where possible, lights and electrical equipment are switched off when not in use.
  • All printers and cartridge toners are recycled.

Energy

MBA are aware of the importance of efficient and cost-effective energy solutions to reduce the overall impact on the environment. Therefore we are always striving to reduce our energy usage. We ensure all monitors are flat screen, instead of CRT and we run a terminal server environment ensuring less power usage than PC’s. All equipment is switched off when not in use to save energy.  Our fridges are A-Rated and thus emit less CFC’s. All staff are encouraged to save energy wherever possible
